Week Sixteen: Detroit Lions (10-4) @ Minnesota Vikings (7-7)

Campbell, like what the **** could he have even of been thinking. What the actual hell. 

[number20]

Damn

[Tenacious D]

We better score now

[TP_Fan]

Why wouldn’t they just take the 17-7 lead?  I’ve never seen worse coaching.

I didn’t like the timeout. Take the ten-point lead.

Also annoyed me that the broadcast was showing replays while not letting us know the relevant information that a timeout had been called. The clock was running when the replays started, then rejoins the live shot 20 seconds later with the clock stopped. 

[TP_Fan]

Embarrassing end to the half.  Completed outcoached. Could have been up 10 but instead Campbell forgot what he was playing for and trusted Aaron Glenn.  The trust in Aaron Glenn is infuriating.  

[number20]

Well... we got a ballgame. Queens are not going away quietly

 

 

[TP_Fan]

Campbell costing them a big lead.

Yes you have. For a long, long time you did.

[MichiganCardinal]

Disappointing it’s not more than a 3-point lead. Between the interception that should have been and the last series, probably should be a three possession game instead.

Keep playing how you have, without the turnovers, and we will win. No disastrous 3rd quarter please.

[RandyMarsh]

Why do people just assume the Vikings were gonna go into a shell if Campbell didn't call that timeout? They were trying to get points before the half so they were gonna try to pick up that 3rd and long one way or another the Campbell timeout didn't change their philosophy. 

If the Lions would've been able to stop said 3rd and long they would've had the ball back at the 20 with a minute left and two timeouts, plenty of time to get into FG range or put in a dagger TD before the half. People bitch about the team letting off the gas then when they try to go for the kill and it backfires people bitch about that too. 

[TP_Fan]

This is why I like kicking. You have a good first half, but botch the last 2 minutes and now you’re on defense again. They should be up by a minimum of 10.

The lions would have gotten the ball back without about 30 seconds. Not a minute.  

[TP_Fan]

And Vikings come out marching.  Aaron Glenn gonna Aaron Glenn.  

[TP_Fan]

Lol Aaron Glenn.  Getting ****ing owned. Coaches losing this game hard.  ****ing joke. 

[number20]

Welcome to the 3rd quarter

[TP_Fan]

Fire Aaron Glenn forever. Jesus Christ. Why is he allowed to coach?  Why.  Back to back touchdowns.

what the **** do they do in halftime to be the worst 3rd quarter team of all time?   Campbell and Glenn ruining what should be domination.  A bunch of jerks. 

[RandyMarsh]

Another pathetic start out of halftime, when it happens a couple times I think maybe it's just a coincidence or fluke but when it happens every week there obviously is some problem. 

[Tigerbomb13]

How do you allow guys to get this open?

Aaron Glenn is the ****ing problem. And Campbell more so for not holding anyone accountable.  

[lordstanley]

I took a shower at halftime timing it, I thought, to be back by kickoff. Must have lingered. Because I walked back in to see the Vikings kicking the extra point. 

[Sports_Freak]

Oh well, we'll just have to win in Dallas. Or beat the Vikings here in week 18. Or root for Green Bay to beat Minnesota.

Not over yet.

This drive needs to be a TD though. 14 unanswered so far. Can't go 3 and out here

[Motown Bombers]

That looked like it could have been a huge gain if the throw was accurate. 

[lordstanley]

Hock out with a knee injury.
